A Public School is a government-funded free source of education. Public schools vary greatly in their success, there are some that offer a great standard in everything from education to the student wellbeing, and some that don't. However, just because one public school is unsatisfactory does not mean that they are all that way.
Many people like to generalize and say that public school kids are filthy and public schools are horrible environments and that Private schools are for spoilt rich kids/smart and conceited kids. This is untrue. Both types of schools have their up-sides and down-sides.

In an ideal world, a public school is a place that kids, living in the community, can learn reading, writing, math, science, civics education, music, debate, art, etc for free. The community funds the school via taxes. Without the support of the community, the public school will flounder. With the support of the community, the school will also be able to supply tutors, social workers, counselors, etc.
The public neighborhood school allows the kids to attend without having to travel great distances. If the school isn't walking distance, bus transportation is usually provided.
Many believe that the movement away from neighborhood schools is a bad idea. Many believe the best option is to create more choices within each neighborhood school. Supply ample funding so the school can offer drama, debate, art, vocational classes, etc.
Florida Governor DeSantis said that any school receiving public funds is a public school. There has been a movement in the US to use public dollars to fund charter schools (which in some cases allow profits to go to real estate developers who own the building and land that house the charter school), and private schools.

I am grateful for the public schools I attended.

U.S. public schools are shitty prisons where kids learn to hate math, english, history, science, and physical ed. that's why we have a problem with having too many uneducated, illiterate, and obese people in america. everyone who doesn't have an extra $30,000 to spend sending their kids to private schools are forced to make them go to public school. teachers can't be fired after working at the school for 2 years, so you get lots of shitty old teachers that don't care about their students because they know they can't lose their job. the school's main focus is preparing students for the standardized tests, which have such low expectations it's unbelievable.
public school kid: fuck i hate school! when the fuck am i going to use this shit?
private school kid: i don't give a shit about school but it doesn't matter because i'll get into harvard anyway.

A place where miserable under paid teacherse dwell. A place where depressed,angry,violent,gangbanging youth reside during the hours of 9am to 3pm. They teach you alot of stuff that doesnt really help you with alot of stuff.
and refuse to air condition classrooms during hot garbage smelling summers, while they're staff rooms and offices are spotless clean and nice and cool.
